Another Monday and many new muffin lovers joining us. First-timers, welcome! Do a couple of minutes to go through my Muffin 101 guide, which (hopefully) will help you with little tips and tricks to bake muffins.
To counterbalance the sinful mini jam filled muffins I’m baking today, I’ll use this opportunity to re-plug last week’s healthy granola muffins which were made using homemade granola.
This recipe is basic and easily adaptable. You can add streusel, just sprinkle some brown sugar like I did, or jam and fresh fruit, or you could have a look at my round-up and see 13 versions of this muffin. What would have made this super special is using homemade jam but honestly, my demanding day job did not leave any scope for that to happen this week. A homemade peach jam would have just been perfect! I used a raspberry and blueberry jam and they tasted great.

Muffin Monday: Round Up
Happy Baking!
whoohoo for muffinmonday! i love jam and bread, so i’m sure these would be a winner for me. :) i would have to veganize and make it gf, but it would still be delish!
Wow, look at all these gorgeous muffins! So easy yet so delicious, the recipe was a winner, An. Your raspberry and blueberry filled ones look very enticing ;-).
Lovely. SUCH a gorgeous spread on a Monday morning. Loved baking with you guys again.
Lookin’ good my friend witha surprise filling in the middle. Mmmm Love the grated lemon peel touch.
You are a wonderful baker, An..what lovely top and the muffins look so lovely!
These look fantastic and jamalicious! Mmmm.
They look just fantastic.
I’ve been experimenting with “stuffed” muffin lately and got some good result using homemade plum jam but also with the evenly nutella spread ;)
Q: did you add anything on top. Your’s look a lot more more crispier than mine ?
Thanks F! I sprinkled a little brown sugar. You can also add a streusel in order to get a crunchy topping.
Great baking along with you once again, An ! Thanks for the round-up. As always, YOUR muffins are award-winning !!!!
Another fun week, An! Love your brown sugar topping – so sweet and simple!
Those look amazing and you’re definitely tempting me big time into joining in the fun, but not sure if that is a good idea since I’m trying to be more sensible about my diet… But muffins like these make all my good intentions go down the drain!
Thanks Simone. It would be lovely to see a healthy take on a simple recipe. Hope you’ll join us soon.
Yay for Muffin Monday! Great choice this week! I may have altered it a lot, but it was still fantastic. Yours look fabulous!

Thanks again for another muffin recipe! Although this one was a little tougher for me, I like all sorts of creativity that goes with each recipe.
Oh my goodness. So golden and the jam takes it to that next level. Thanks for the recipe!
The pictures of these muffins are glorious! My mouth waters just looking at them :)
XOXO
With a full-time job I don’t know how you manage to maintain such a beautiful blog and do all the baking, photographing etc., that is required to keep it current. I sure am glad that you do however. These breakfast muffins would be the perfect addition to my morning coffee.
Aw.. Thanks Paula.

Yeah I wanted to make bacon jam but seem to be running out of time these days. I love your brown sugar sprinkles :) See you next week.
